First United Methodist Church is very actively involved in a variety of mission projects. Some projects involve us through hands-on volunteering. Others involve us through fundraising. Many do both. We welcome your participation!
Monthly Mission Emphases Each month at First United Methodist Church, we highlight a monthly mission project. Loose change in the offering plates and monies designated for that project are given as a gift from our church. On the second Sunday of each month, a 3-minute Mission Emphasis is given during worship, highlighting the local charity or denominational mission project for that month. This year's mission projects are the following. 2024 January - Youth Futures February - Pastor's Discretionary Fund March - UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) April - Pinecliff UM Camp (near Coaldale, UT) May - United Methodist Men's (Stobaugh) Scholarship Fund June - Camp Comfort Scholarships (at Ogden Nature Center) July -School Supplies Drive (for Catholic Community Svcs) August - Pura Vida Student Scholarships September - Diaper Drive October - Veterans Home Activities Fund November - Sub for Santa (Christmas gifts for Utah Foster Kids) December - Seager Clinic (low income, Ogden)
2023 Sub for Santa Gifts from FUMC to Utah Foster Care Kids
On Aug. 23, 2015, FUMC had a dunk tank to help raise funds to buy a fire truck for the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana. Here's Rev. Kim ready for the plunge, as kids and adults took turns throwing the ball. We raised over $600 that day.
